"Midnight Rider" (Allman/Payne 1970) by the Allman Brothers Band takes themes of desperation, determination, and being on the run; themes commonly heard in folk and blues songs.
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider.
"Midnight Rider" is not dark, but does contain ideas of mystery and the lonesome wanderer-- themes that also surround the image of 'midnight'.
